My guinea hen has been sitting on a nest for a while. The eggs had about a week left before hatching. I just noticed her foraging with the male, so I went to check on her nest. All but three eggs had been broken open and the contents eaten. (This happened during the day - the nest was fine this morning.)
The three remaining eggs were cold to the touch. Do I have any hope for incubating them, or are they definitely dead? The batteries are dead in my MagLite, so I can't candle them, unless someone has another idea of how to do it.
I've never incubated before, but I'm figuring if the eggs are cold then the keets are already dead... Right?
